    Abstract Purpose of review: Eosinophils are involved in combating parasitic, bacterial, viral infections as well as certain malignancies. However, they are also implicated in an array of upper and lower respiratory disease states. Through a deeper understanding of disease pathogenesis, targeted biologic therapies have revolutionized glucocorticoid sparing treatment of eosinophilic respiratory diseases. This review will focus on the impact of novel biologics on the management of asthma, eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP).
    Recent findings: Key immunologic pathways affecting Type 2 inflammation through immunoglobulin E (IgE), interleukin (IL-4), IL-5, IL-13, and upstream alarmins such as thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), have led to novel drug developments. We explore the mechanism of action for Omalizumab, Mepolizumab, Benralizumab, Reslizumab, Dupilumab, and Tezepelumab, their respective Food and Drug Administration (FDA) indications, and biomarkers affecting treatment decisions. We also highlight investigational therapeutics that are likely to impact the future management of eosinophilic respiratory diseases.
    Summary: Insight into the biology of eosinophilic respiratory diseases has been critical for understanding disease pathogenesis and has contributed to the development of effective eosinophil-targeted biologic interventions.

  3. Article ; Online: Open-inhaler versus single-inhaler triple therapy (long-acting muscarinic antagonist, inhaled corticosteroid, and long-acting β

    Abstract Objective: To review the evidence for the use of open-inhaler (inhaled corticosteroid [ICS] plus long-acting β
    Data sources: Original research articles were identified from PubMed using the search term "triple therapy asthma." Information was also retrieved from the ClinicalTrials.gov website.
    Study selections: Articles detailing the use of add-on LAMA to ICS plus LABA (open-inhaler triple therapy), and closed triple therapy compared with ICS plus LABA dual therapy, addressing patient symptoms, exacerbations, and health-related quality of life.
    Results: Open-inhaler triple therapy was associated with a significantly reduced incidence of hospitalizations and emergency department visits and a decrease in ICS dose, oral corticosteroids use, and antibiotics use. Exacerbations and acute respiratory events were also reduced. Single-inhaler triple therapy showed a greater improvement in lung function, asthma control, and health status and was noninferior to open-inhaler triple therapy for Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire scores. Single-inhaler triple therapy may also lead to improved therapy adherence.
    Conclusion: Add-on LAMA to ICS plus LABA (open- or single-inhaler triple therapy) improves the response in patients who remain symptomatic and provides a reasonable alternative to ICS dose escalation in treatment-refractory patients.

    Abstract Objective: To review key literature on asthma biologic therapeutics-currently available and under investigation-to inform a rational approach to select biologics for the management of people with severe asthma by precision medicine.
    Data sources: We used the PubMed database to review literature on biologic therapeutics in asthma.
    Study selections: We included published randomized control trials and real-world studies on biologic therapeutics, available in English, through September 2021.
    Results: Increased understanding of asthma endotypes and the roles of various inflammatory mechanisms has led to therapeutic agents that inhibit specific cytokines or immune pathways. Currently available biologic therapeutics target type 2-high asthma. Grouped by mechanisms of action, there are the following 3 types: (1) anti-immunoglobulin E, (2) anti-interleukin (IL)-5 or IL-5 receptor, and (3) anti-IL-4 receptor α. There are also various potential future biologic therapeutics currently under investigation. Although there remains a paucity of data regarding prospective direct head-to-head comparisons of biologic therapeutics in asthma, there are some retrospective and indirect comparison data available.
    Conclusion: Precision medicine guides selection of biologic therapeutics along with shared decision-making. Biomarkers, although not comprehensive, allow approximations of likely mechanisms. Use of biomarkers, to include historical levels and trends, in addition to consideration of key clinical characteristics and comorbidities can greatly help guide biologic selection. Efficacy, safety, potential adverse effects, indications for other key comorbidities, and logistics should also be considered.

    Abstract Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is an eosinophilic vasculitis that affects a variety of organ systems. Historically, glucocorticoids and a variety of other immunosuppressants were used to abrogate the inflammation and tissue injury associated with EGPA. The management of EGPA has evolved greatly during the last decade with the development of novel targeted therapeutics that have resulted in significantly improved outcomes for these patients, with many more novel targeted therapies emerging.

    Abstract: ... Targets for asthma and COPD include immunoglobulin E, interleukin 5, interleukin 4/interleukin 13, thymic ...

    Abstract Historical treatments for asthma and COPD have primarily focused on addressing the underlying inflammation and bronchoconstriction that result in air flow obstruction symptoms, including shortness of breath, cough, chest tightness, and mucus production. However, in the past several years, new research into the underlying pathophysiology of asthma and COPD has led to novel targeted therapies that address the underlying pathways that cause these obstructive disorders. As we have gained a better understanding of underlying disease mechanisms, we have begun to use biomarkers and endotypes to personalize our approach to therapy. Targets for asthma and COPD include immunoglobulin E, interleukin 5, interleukin 4/interleukin 13, thymic stromal lymphopoietin, interleukin 17, tyrosine kinases, and others. The new biologics are generally safe and well tolerated, and are bringing promise and hope of personalized therapy to patients with severe asthma.
